Is there documentation for the claim that Francesco Rampazetto invented a typewriter in 1575?

[edit]

The only reference to Francesco Rampazetto's 1575 invention is a link to a website that makes an unsupported claim. If there is no documentary evidence of this claim, should this claim be deleted from the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamsmark75 (talkcontribs) 19:32, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Francesco Rampazetto and the Scrittura Tattile] explicitly challenges the article as it stands, so unless someone produces a solid citation pdq, off with its head. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:44, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Typewriter

[edit]

That article states that Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain was the first typewritten manuscript submitted for publication in 1883. This is factually incorrect. The first book published from a typewritten manuscript (on a Sholes typewriter) was Oahspe by John Newbrough in 1882. 104.148.163.181 (talk) 14:27, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
